Alicia Fabiani
Alicia began practicing yoga in 2008 as a way to maintain her physique and increase flexibility after years of training as a swimmer and runner; as well as a way to help with the stressful side effects of a busy career in the film industry. What she found was more than mobility, strength and sense of calm, she found the physical challenges and re- solve gained on the mat transfer seamlessly to daily life.
After years of practice on the Westside of Los Angeles with Bryan Kest, CORE Power Yoga and in Gainesville and after recently competing in her first ITU AG World Sprint Triathlon in Lausanne, Switzerland, Alicia received her Yoga Alliance RYT 200 Hour certification at Yoga Garage in Florence, Italy. She continues to run, bike and swim as well as pursue her professional ventures. She finds new challenges and opportunities to grow on and off the mat and says this practice readies her each day for both.
As a University of Florida Alumni, she is excited to teach and share her experience with the Gainesville community. As a teacher, Alicia hopes her students take away the same sense of mobility, readiness and awareness she has gained from this practice. She focuses on building a mindful connection between breath and body through asana and pranayama work.
As she says “It’s simple really. It’s all about showing up, practicing and pushing yourself to your limits, wherever you may be. This is your journey and only you can define where you will go, but it all starts from where you are.” She looks forward to welcoming you at her next class where you can expect to work on building strength, flexibility and a sense of center through an inviting, dynamic and challenging practice.
